swivel seats
Hi,
I'm on the hunt for some new front seats and a swivel base for the passenger one.
Ive been asking around and I cant find any t25 seats for love or money.
my question is, would t4 front swivel seats work? Or even ford galaxy etc ones with some mod'in to the base?
Any help would be great.

Re: swivel seats
Also any suggestions for alternative seats in general? Even if they arent swivel?
Im quite tall so need to take height of seat into consideration.

Re: swivel seats
SAAB 90 seats seem quite popular as alternatives, and relatively cheap to buy. A local scrappie wanted £30 for pair. Think details of their fitting is in the wiki.

Re: swivel seats
I had saab ones in my t2 and loved them. But through my searches people have said they are too high for a t25?

Re: swivel seats
The Saab are a doddle to fit, I have a pair in the camper and the van, they do make you sit a bit higher but I'm 6'2" and it doesn't bother me. For a swivel on the passenger side I bought a swivel base for a new shape merc vito from Jennings.

I had some way back.
Comfy but too high.
Why not just put the existing seats on swivel bases ?
Only wear the hat if it fits
Re: swivel seats
Cheers for the replys.
The seats I have already are knackered and bodged in to the point they just slide backwards and forwards with nothing to secure them.
Ive bought some proper smart hyundai v6 leather bucket type jobbies.
Found a swivel base new on ebay for £60 so its happy days.
Cheers for the help

Let us see the pictures of how you've fitted them when you're finished. Ta.

Re: swivel seats
Will do mate. Looks like a pretty straight forward job, going to bin off the t25 runners and use the hyundai ones.

These are the seats. Not bad for £30 the pair, they have height adjustment and lumber support. Not to everyones taste but I love them and they are comfy
